I've never understood the over-educated thing. I too have received the "over-qualified" spiel when applying for a job. I understand that I may not be taking a job "at my level" but I am obviously applying for a reason. It makes me laugh, and sad, when I hear about the skills gap issues when there are people willing to…

I think a lot of the issues stem from this thought that having a college degree means instant success in life. That having a degree means that one can no longer work entry level jobs. Those jobs must be reserved for stupid people who are only smart enough to serve "better" people. A degree does not equal a high paying…

I actually saw this in the theater when it came out. My dad practically raised us on Horror and Sci-Fi growing up so when I saw a behind the scenes special on the movie before it came out I just had to see it. The special went a lot into the set design and how they used it specifically to be a character itself and…

They don't show it in the video, and I don't know if someone else mentioned it, but if you look around after the summon puts you back you can see him standing there kinda drained and then he disappears before the skies clear. Really is an OMG moment. Reminds me of the old FFVII summons. Epic. Something I think we lost…

Spent the night downloading the FFXV demo while I played Type-0. I played through the story of the demo this afternoon and I was actually very surprised with how much I enjoyed it. I am also one of those salty fans that hasn't liked the franchise much since FFX, especially the multiple failures of FFXIII. As such I…

I felt the same way reading these books. There are so many story archs that carry over into these books, but instead of really diving into them GRRM threw in a bunch of new characters and story archs that seemed like page fillers. I struggled to get to the end of A Dance With Dragons and I know that I missed some…

I've been in the same boat for the last few years. Final Fantasy 12 was where things seemed to break for me. I grew to like, and even love the gameplay/combat system, but I never cared about the story or characters. That thread continued through every installment of FF13, and what I fear for FF15. It really has had me…

I use to have a 2006 PT Cruiser Route 66 Edition. It was a decent car until the computer started to die. I replaced the starter, the alternator/generator (something that HAS to be done with a car lift), countless fuses and relays, and the battery twice before finding the issue was the CPU. Then I found that it was a…

My wife and I eat out a lot so I know there have been many stories over the years of this type of thing, but one that we still laugh about today comes from a time we took some of our friends out to dinner.
